Code window does'nt pass or fail rather gives it looks like task 1 is no longer passing

Code window doesnt pass or fail rather gives it looks like task 1 is no longer passing (as stated above)...

index.php 
<?php
//edit this array
$contacts = array('Alena Holligan', 'Dave McFarland', 'Treasure Porth', 'Andrew Chalkley');
$contacts = array (
  array ( 'name' => 'Alena Holligan', 'email' => 'alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com'),
  array ( 'name' => 'Dave McFarland', 'email' => 'dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com'),
  array ( 'name' => 'Treasure Porth' 'email' => 'treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com'),
  array ( 'name' => 'Andrew Chalkley' 'email' => 'andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com'),
);

echo "<ul>\n";
//$contacts[0] will return 'Alena Holligan' in our simple array of names.
echo "<li>Alena Holligan : alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n";
echo "<li>Dave McFarland : dave.mcfarland@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n";
echo "<li>Treasure Porth : treasure.porth@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n";
echo "<li>Andrew Chalkley : andrew.chalkley@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n";
echo "</ul>\n";

You are almost there! First you should remove the first array because it is being replaced with the second.

Next, all you have left to do is replace your hard coded values at the bottom with variables from your array.

echo "<li>Alena Holligan : alena.holligan@teamtreehouse.com</li>\n";
...

needs to become

echo "<li>{$contacts[0]['name']} : {$contacts[0]['email]}</li>\n";
...

In the next section you will begin writing code that performs the same action for all of the array elements at once instead of duplicating the same code and changing the array indexes.
